If your audio midi setup takes an age to load, and you get the message ‘the midi server can’t be opened’rnrnit might be to do with protools.rni run protools 8rnand osx lion.rnrneverything worked fine if I was plugged into my protools interface, but when the interface was unplugged, I got the above error.rnrnbut when my protools hardware was unplugged I couldnt open audio midi setup, and any app that I opened took an age because it had to wait for the timeout to occur because it couldnt find the protools hardware.rnrni simply went to /Library/Audio/Midi Driversrnrnand deleted the digidesign files in there.rnrnit means that my midi interface isnt available when running protools, but I use ableton for my midi things anyway.rnit turns out that there isnt a driver update either, so you have to upgrade to protools 9 or protools 10 if you want to get it all to work properly.rn

One response to “Audio midi setup midi server cant be opened protools fix”
Pro Tools 9 does not fix this problem. I have the same issue and my MIDI I/O is part of my audio interface. I have tried everything and I can’t get MIDI to work for me.
